England v Scotland | Euro 2020 Group Stage

[bluemoon32]

Why does he have to be English, Sven did a half decent job. Cappello was awful but the world is our lobster.

Nah, the England manager should always be English or at the very least have managed an English club

 

[hammocity]

That mantra, or 'philosophy,' has been Englands motto since that fella from Yorkshire was director of football.

You mean Howard Wilkinson the former Mossley FC Manager.

 

[Bill Walker]

What I was saying that I would have been peed off for not beating that shite last night .......... 20 mins to go we where there for the taking and deep down I bet Clarke will see that as a missed opportunity

I don't think so our defence was very good and solid.
Pickford made a superb save on 30 minutes ..that could easily have won the game for them, I wouldn't be disappointed with the result if I was Scottish.

Henderson, the epitome of an overhyped player, I hate that twat at the same level as Robertson. Lingard had a few good games for West Ham but was pretty anonymous in the games where the Hammers failed to win towards the end of the season, he's pretty shit overall.

I wouldn’t start Lingard, might not even play him at all, but I’d have had him in the squad.

We as a set of fans properly undervalue Henderson. He’s a much better player than we give him credit for. Klopp’s an annoying fucker, but he’s no fool when it comes to players and he’s not made him captain and kept him in the team throughout his tenure for nothing.

Where’s Ings n’all?!

Remember a poster in Czech game thread saying " beat them put then back in their boxes for another 25 years" See this is whst happens when you rely in MSM for your knowledge. All best for rest of tournament guys. Let's hope we beat the Croats n see you in the final haha

Slabhead needs to start the next game, As shit as he is he's alot better than Mings. At least he will get his foot on the ball on carry the ball up the field along with breaking lines with passes (or at least they to). Mings is garbage.

I wasn’t sure if Maguire was still injured or not.

Maguire has had some comical moments at United, but when he doesn’t play they turn to complete shit.

I’d play:
——-————-Pickford—————-
Walker—Stones—Maguire—Shaw
—————Phillips—-Mount————-
————————Foden———————
Sancho——-——Kane———-Sterling

Pound-for-pound, Sven is just about the world we’ve ever had. He has the best England side since 1970 and had us playing insipid turgid football.

Yeah, just something a bit different to what we’ve seen so far.

Im still yet to be impressed with Foden in midfield, but I like Mount being a deep lying play maker in your team there.

 

[BluechesterCity]

He won't start Foden against Czech Republic. No doubt it will be Sir Marcus in for Phil.
Foden has been the most creative player in both games but still got whipped twice.
Shocking management.

Seriously couldn't understand the reasoning behind bringing Foden off last night. I'm starting to believe that Southgate hasn't really got a clue what he's doing; yes, he's confident about what he's trying to do but it is still dog shit. Not even having the nerve to shake things up and instead subject the nation to 90 minutes of utter dross - the worst kind of possession based football for the sake of making safe passes. Sticking Foden on the right wing was idiotic.

Fair point about Lingard in the squad but I just can't stand Henderson as a player and a person. Made me laugh when they went on about him as Captain lifting "trophy after trophy" he's won two proper ones in his years at the Dippers, well overhyped.

 

[waspish]

For me England should not play Possession football should play more direct and pick up the second balls with Foden Sterling Kane Mount Grealish Sancho we have the players to score! Against teams like Scotland we should of played basketball type football it make it more open but you make a lot more chances plus more space to play in..

 

[bluemoon32]

Pickford, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Chilwell, Phillips, Foden, Grealish, Mount, Sancho, Kane/DCL.

Ah the population ruse. The best card a small country has to play. A win win even when you lose and your best players play abroad. Nothing to lose really, play with no pressure as an underdog - remember Sparta!

Whatever man, our game gets shat on at every opportunity, treated with disdain and funded in relative pennies in comparison. Last night was a reminder that it's not all bad.

Croatia have a population smaller than Scotland and have produced some fantastic football teams.

 

[ShedDweller]

The only thing I learned tonight was how white are Graeme Souness’s teeth? I had to turn the brightness down on my tv.

Must be a Liverpool thing

 

[bluestreak]

My suspicious thoughts are that no one wants to finish top in this group. Had England beaten Scotland they would likely finish top of the group. Top of group D vs 2nd group F which would likely be France, Germany or Portugal. (England's possible end of comp). Therefore the target is to finish second. Group D 2nd vs Group E 2nd. would be much easier route against Poland, Sweden or Slovakia if Spain win the group, I would have thought.
Yesterday Croatia with no points played out a timid draw with Czech Republic. Croatia now have to beat Scotland at Hampden to go through.
Perhaps my thinking is just a load of suspicious bollocks ;-)

 

[Bantamgaz]

Nothing much will change like the commentators said we are a 1-0 side shame really because with the likes of Kane, Grealish ,Foden etc you should be going out to batter teams

 

[Franny's toilet roll]

It's not all bad as you say. Last night you played a a spirited team that certainly put a shift in. If it was a boxing match I'd have given it to you on points

 

[Magicpole]

You've got more grit than a snowplough MP, face like one too; )

You and that fucking camera you have in here. Can't argue with the face thing, but focus on the hair. I've told you that hunners a times.
